International Geocaching Day

AQUI COLOCA O NOME DA FOTO

Geocachers around the world will unite on 20th August to celebrate International Geocaching Day. It’s a day devoted enjoying what you love – geocaching. There’s even a digital prize. Geocachers who log an “Attended” at an Event Cache or a “Found it” for another cache type on International Geocaching Day earn a souvenir for their Geocaching.com profile page. International Geocaching Day is the perfect occasion to hike with family and friends, enjoy the outdoors, and log one, two, or a dozen smileys.
 

HQ Duck Dash - The Finish Line

On August 30, 2001, Geocaching.com Founder Jeremy Irish activated the world’s first trackable, TB1.

Jeremy says, “When we first started Travel Bugs, I released 7 Deadly Ducks in the wild.” Each of the new trackables were based on one of the deadly sins. These Deadly Ducks, with the names of Envy, Sloth, Pride, Gluttony, Lust and Wrath, headed out into the world to travel from geocache to geocache. (The Greed Deadly Duck was placed in a geocache that was never listed on Geocaching.com and may still be hidden in Virginia, USA.)

In honour of the 15th anniversary of trackables, Geocaching.com are hosting a worldwide trackable race featuring the reincarnated Deadly Ducks. The race began on July 20, 2016 at 12:01am PST and ends on August 20, 2016 at 11:59pm PST. To be in with a chance of winning the race, the duck trackables have to be in an event today. Find those Duck TBs and bring them along and see how many we can amass!!!

Holidays!!

20th August is the first day of our 3 week holiday in Tenerife, Mrs Dragon and I have been to the island many times before and look forward to returning every year.  No holiday here would be complete without finding several caches and attending an event or two if possible!  I still have some DNF's to correct!

It would be great if you could come and help us celebrate, chat and swap stories and trackables. We look forward to meeting you at

Time: 18:30 to 19:30, 20th August 2016
Location: Under the multi trunked tree in Paseo Juan Bariajo
